Geez, -t, that's mind boggling.

I have more info. on the ecstatic dance house party. There will be magic treats (which, if I'm thinking of the right kind of magic treats, don't work on me because of my new magical sped-digesting powers, more's the pity. I've tested the theory twice now. Legally!)
BUT, we have also confirmed that I can simply spectate if don't care to dance ecstatic-like. Odds are improving that I'll go.

Don’t take that magic treats if they are, like, monkey paws but otherwise that sounds like fun, JenP! Looking forward to your report.
It continues to be enraging that our jobs can hold us hostage via health insurance. Maybe things will get better post-conversation, shrift? I hope so.

I am very much looking forward to the ecstatic dance house party report.
I hope tomorrow is a saner workday, -t.
As annoying as it is to have any other person have control of the remote, it is a large multiplier more annoying to have a child in control. Eeep!

It probably won’t be, Laura! The Outlet Sale starts tomorrow, that never leads to more sanity. If we can’t get the thingy fixed, will it impact the sale? Who knows? I’m scheduled to cashier 2-6 either way. Which means I don’t intend to start working until maybe 9:30 but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get away with that.

I thought you said magic "teats" and I was intrigued.

That's some timing for the network to go kaflooey.

Oh, well, my manager thinks I'm great, so my desire to quit is more about burnout and a general disenchantment with Silicon Valley. I also don't know what to be when I grow up, so while I could change careers, not working at all seems like a really attractive option. Unsustainable, but attractive.
I really do need to get myself an ADHD evaluation. I imagine I'd have more energy if I wasn't constantly fighting my brain to do things I need to do when I need to do them.

And I just saw on Facebook that the sale opening is postponed but have not gotten an email about it. Glad I’m not scheduled to open at least!

ADHD evaluation is a good idea! Oh, hey, my therapist diagnosed me with job burnout a few years ago. It was right before I got laid off/transferred and changed therapists due to geographical challenges so I don’t remember what she suggested to do about it. She was kind of hilariously excited to be able to tell me what was wrong, though. But two birds with one application of mental health coverage, maybe
